Do your kids write you love notes?
Since my girls are little and LOVE to write notes, I often get “You’re mean” and “I want a new Mom” and “When are you going to stop working?” all the time.
Sometimes, though, I get awesome, amazing, beautiful, loving, amazing love notes.
Like this one. I just have to share.
In case you need a translation, this says:
Dear mom,
I love you so much could eat you up like a red hot pepper or yellow or maybe even green. (not for real)
Now … I’m not sure I’ve even been compared to a red hot pepper or any pepper for that matter.
So why she chose that for my love note, I don’t know.
What tickles me the most is the change in color as if red or yellow or even green is either 1) gross or 2) hotter and they’d be willing to eat them.
I’m also pretty sure my kids wouldn’t eat peppers anyway.
But I can’t contain the smiles when I get notes like this.
Do your kids write you love notes?
What’s your favorite?

This is so sweet. My kids always left me notes in the steamed up mirror in the bathroom. I long for those days again. My kiddies are all grown. Enjoy while you can.
I am enjoying. Totally. 🙂 Thanks, Jenny!
Kids can be so sweet! I have received notes from my oldest when he was in elementary school, but usually only because it was a holiday. 🙂
My little one is only 2, so no notes from him yet.
Holiday notes are good too and now with a 2 year old you have more to look forward to!
This note is the perfect example of why I can’t wait for my husband and I to have little ones. We are having a tough time, having to go to doctors and we have been at it for about 3 years. Things like this note, which is the cutest note in the whole world, are the things that keep us fighting. That keep us from giving up. Children are just too important. And I can’t wait for my little on to love me enough to eat me up like a green, yellow or red pepper! Thanks for the post. Seriously, thank you. And I am happy for you for getting the note!
Glad my girls could brighten your day! We tried for 2 full years after having my son with no difficulties. When the docs said ‘fertility drugs’ hubby and I decided we’d have to be a family of 3. That was going to be it for us. We made it very clear to family and friends that we were ‘done’ and that was it. 6 months later, after NOT trying for 6 months, not only was I pregnant, but with twins! Totally a God thing. So, I encourage you never to give up and even if you decide to go another route, you never know what can happen. Good luck!
